Buffalo is one of the best eating cities in America. Here’s the proof: flavorsome profiles of more than 200 locally-owned restaurants, bakeries, and food stores. All the Buffalo icons are here – wings, pizza, beef on weck – plus a wealth of diversity that makes eaters sad to leave.

One may almost complete the alphabet with Buffalo’s international cuisines: Argentine, Bengali, Burmese, Chinese, Colombian, Dominican, Ethiopian, Filipino, Ghanian, Hawaiian, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Lebanese, Mexican, Pakistani, Puerto Rican, Sri Lankan, Yemeni, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.

50 new places have been added, and two new indexes: a location index, and an index by cuisine, dish, and occasion. Each place gets three to six color photos.

After 15 years on the food beat with The Buffalo News and Buffalo food blog FourBites.net, author Andrew Galarneau is Western New York’s restaurant expert,  a journalist, not an influencer, paying his own bills at restaurants, who pay him nothing for coverage. He platforms places purely on their own merits.

Four Bites Where to Eat in Buffalo 2027 is his updated, fact-checked dossier on places for every occasion, casual breakfasts to spendy big nights. 

From burgers and fries, to chicken souvlaki breakfast with housemade toast, to a roasted pig’s head dinner, it has carnivores covered. Vegans can thrill to best-in-show falafel, a dozen versions of tea leaf salad, and an extraordinary vegan sausage roll.
